Author's Note: Alright, this might just turn into a trainwreck kids. Don't ask me where the idea came to mix these two together. Hopefully it will get a strong reaction... if not, then I will just chalk it up to a failed experiment.

A few notes: 1) This takes place 15 years after the events of Pokemon as we know it. 2) It will bore from the anime and the games. 3) While the cases will have similar starting points, they WILL be different, so you don't have to worry about this just being me inserting oddishes into Castle stories.

Celadon City- 6:50 pm

Det. Kate Beckett slipped under the caution tape and made her way into the Celadon Gym. Several officers gave her perplexed looks and she instantly pegged them for local. She didn't bother to give them a second thought, as her mind, as it always was when she was called to a scene, was preparing herself for the sight that waited for her within.

"Get ready," Det. Javier Esposito said, moving to join her as they made their way through the Gym. Flowers and trees were all over the place, making the entire enclosed structure feel more like a green house than a Gym. He could already feel his nose itching from all the pollen.

"Why? The Gym Leader complaining?"

"No, actually. For once one of them is letting us do our job." He motioned her to follow him to the main battling grounds, the walkway going from the normal hardpacked rubber asphalt to natural dark soil that, if Beckett had to guess, was filled with all sorts of natural vitamins and nutrients to help the plants grow big and strong. Beckett rolled her eyes, knowing that with the money it cost to import the dirt the Gym could have fed several families for a year.

"Then what is the problem?" Beckett asked, flashing her badge at two officers who had taken their stations near the door that led into the Gym Leader's private entrance.

"It's a weird one," Esposito said.

Beckett took in the scene before her and admitted that Esposito was not exaggerating: this was a weird one alright.

Several of the local officers had set up lights, having been unable to figure out the gym's complex lighting system; their damp shirts showed that they had accidentally turned on the overhead sprinklers before giving up on attempts to light the place up. The towers, with their bare bulbs, shown down on the body of what, at first glance, appeared to be a Pokemon. Large green leaves encircled her waist, her skin a pale green and two large red flowers topping her head. It was only as Beckett got closer that she saw this was not a Pokemon but a 20 year old woman. She had been stripped of all her clothing and left in the middle of the training room like some sort of museum piece.

"Never seen anything like this," Esposito muttered.

"Except for those websites you go to when no one is looking?" Esposito sputtered at Beckett's dig and the female detective smirked. "Who found her?" Beckett asked, kneeling down and slipping on a pair of latex gloves.

Regaining his composure, Esposito pulled out his notes. "One of the Jr. Trainers found her. Erika Sloane, the gym leader, asked her to go back and get something for her...found the girl like this."

"Any cameras?"

"None. Gym believes in keeping things natural. When they need to record battles they have one of Ms. Sloane's girls get a handheld."

"Wonderful," Beckett muttered to herself. "I've seen this before."

"Everyone's seen it. It's a Bellossom...or a woman dressed up like a Bellossom."

"No, not that..." Beckett closed her eyes, digging deep into her memories in an attempt to try and remember where she had seen a crime scene like this before.

"Man, you see some of the girls that work here?" Detective Kevin Ryan asked as he entered the room, his Eevee perched, as always, on his shoulder.

"Some hot mamas, alright," Esposito said with a wolfish grin. He looked over at the Eevee and then back at to his partner and friend. "I thought you said you were going to finally evolve that thing into a Jolteon."

"I was...but when we got to the shopping center she got all fussy..."

Esposito waved his friend off. "You treat that thing like it's a baby."

"Stop calling her a thing...you're going to hurt her feelings."

"Guys?" Beckett said, giving them both a glare that shut them up. "Dead woman...kinda more important than elemental stones."

"Right," Ryan said, scratching Eevee under her chin. "I just got done talking with Erika and her trainers...none of them were able to identify the girl."

"So she didn't work here," Beckett said, filing that away for later. "So someone took the time to sneak in here, lay her out and make her out to look like a Pokemon, then sneak away..."

"Seems like a lot of work," Ryan said.

"Warned you this was a weird one," Esposito said.

"Don't sound so disappointed, Javi," Beckett teased.

Esposito scoffed. "Hate the weird ones. Give me a normal homicide any day."

"Jack shot Jill, open and shut," Ryan added.

"But the weird ones need more...make you work for it...much better than a quick jump in the sack normal crimes become." Beckett's eyes were alit with humor as she spoke.

Ryan glanced over at two of the locals that were milling near the door, staring at Beckett like she was a Mew. "What's up with them?"

"Never seen a cop who wasn't named Jenny," Beckett said. Ryan was new to the force, having moved to Kanto only a year ago and he was still getting use to some of their quirks, including the fact that it was rare for a female police officer to not be named Jenny or be part of the same family. Beckett had long gotten used to the shocked looks she received when she walked onto a scene. Hell, she even welcomed it, taking it as a badge of honor that she had managed to make it up the ranks to lead homicide detective of Kanto. Let the blue-haired women do what they wanted…Beckett would continue to show them all.

Plus...it was nice to have the officers look at her like that and not-

"Flowers on Her Grave."

"Huh?" Ryan and Esposito said.

"Flowers on Her Grave..." When neither of them followed what she was saying, Beckett gave them an exasperated look. "What, neither of you read?"
